Common failure areas on this model

The confirmed parts above group into a handful of failure areas. Here is what each points to and how to check it before you order anything.

General hardware and mounting parts

Symptom: A small mechanical or mounting part has failed, cracked, or gone missing.

Check: Compare the physical shape and mounting points to the original piece, and confirm the exact part number against your model plate before ordering.

Parts in this group on 66516972202: 8531021 (Pump Motor), 8531020 (Pump Motor), 8268422 (Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly), 8268858 (Silverware Basket), 8524582 (Stop), 8270022 (Link), 8193768 (3rd Level Wash Spinner Kit), W10813433 (Dishwasher Silverware Basket), WP8545533 (Dishwasher Air Vent), W10782773 (Circulation Pump and Motor Assembly), 8194001 (Door Balance Link Kit), WP8531018 (Dishwasher Washer), 8524474 (Dishwasher Door Balance Wheel), 72032 (Touch-up Paint - Black), 72017 (Touch-Up Paint - White).

Filtration and spray system

Symptom: Dishes come out with food residue, spots, or a cloudy film, or you notice leftover debris in the tub bottom after a cycle.

Check: Remove and rinse the filter assembly under the tub, and check that the spray arm spins freely and its jets aren't clogged -- these are the first things to check before assuming a pump has failed.

Parts in this group on 66516972202: WP8268316 (Dishwasher Lower Spray Arm Support), 8269295 (Dishwasher Spray Arm Manifold Receiver), WP8535083 (Dishwasher Middle Spray Arm Gray), 8193918 (Accumulator and Filter).

Water inlet and drainage

Symptom: The dishwasher won't fill, or dishes come out with standing water still in the tub bottom after the cycle ends.

Check: Check the inlet valve's screen filter for sediment, and check the drain pump and drain hose for a clog or a jammed object -- a piece of broken glass or a bottle cap is a common culprit.

Parts in this group on 66516972202: 8531671 (Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve), 8269144A (Drain Hose), 8269144 (Dishwasher Drain Hose).

Heat control (thermostats, fuses, heating element)

Symptom: Dishes don't dry at the end of the cycle, or a heated-dry setting doesn't seem to do anything.

Check: With the dishwasher unplugged, check continuity across the heating element or thermostat with a multimeter -- no continuity means it has failed.

Parts in this group on 66516972202: 8194200 (Heating Element & Control Board Kit), 661566 (Dishwasher Thermostat).

Dishrack hardware (rollers, wheels and tines)

Symptom: A dish rack that binds, drags, or comes off its rail track when you pull it in or out, or a rack with a cracked, loose, or missing wheel or tine.

Check: Pull the rack fully out and check each wheel or roller for a crack or a missing axle pin, and check that tines aren't snapped off or pushed out of alignment along the row.

Parts in this group on 66516972202: WP8268522 (Dishwasher Tine/Flexrow Retainer), WP8268523 (Dishwasher Tine Pivot), W10780925 (Lower Dishrack Assembly), WPW10350382 (Dishwasher Upper Dishrack), WP8268977 (Dishwasher Transport Wheel).

Storage, trim and cosmetic hardware

Symptom: A cracked shelf, broken door bin, worn hinge, or missing trim piece -- cosmetic and storage wear rather than a functional breakdown.

Check: Match the physical dimensions and mounting tabs of the old part before ordering; these pieces are often model-specific even between visually similar models.

Parts in this group on 66516972202: WP8268326 (Dishwasher Water Supply Tube), WP8268655 (Dishwasher Upper Rack Wheel w/Mount), WP8533380 (Dishwasher Dispenser Cap), WP8270019 (Dishwasher Upper Rack Wheel & Mount Assembly), W10301577 (Exterior Door Panel - Stainless Steel), WPW10586591 (Kickplate - White), WP3400919 (Dishwasher Screw Cover (White)), 3400217 (Dishwasher Screw), WP304666 (Dishwasher Tub Sound Shield Retainer), W10795980 (Tub Cap), WP3400074 (Dishwasher Screw), WP9741232 (Dishwasher Screw 818 X 5/8).

Controls, timers and wiring

Symptom: A cycle that stops partway through, an error code or blinking light, or the unit not starting at all.

Check: Look for burn marks or a burnt smell near the board or terminals, and check whether buttons and knobs respond -- a unit that powers on but won't cycle often traces back to this group.

Parts in this group on 66516972202: 8193506 (Float Switch Kit), WP8268895 (Dishwasher Float Assembly), WPW10334457 (Dishwasher Capacitor).

Drive system (belts, pulleys, motors)

Symptom: A dish rack, spray arm, or wash-motor component isn't turning or sliding the way it should.

Check: Check that the part in question turns or slides freely by hand, and look for a cracked, worn, or seized point where it should pivot or roll.

Parts in this group on 66516972202: WP8524471 (Dishwasher Door Actuator).

Before you buy

Match 66516972202 exactly against the model and serial plate on the appliance itself before ordering anything — a single mismatched character can point to a different production run with different parts. Then check the part number printed or stamped on the part you are replacing against the part numbers in the table above; the printed number is the most reliable way to confirm fitment when a model has gone through multiple production runs. RepairKitHub does not sell parts directly — every part link above routes to an Amazon search for that part number so you can compare current listings and sellers yourself.

How to confirm this is your model

On most dishwashers, the model and serial plate sits on the edge of the door or the tub rim. Match every character exactly, including letters and dashes at the end — appliance model numbers often have similar prefixes but different suffixes for different production runs.
